The Homestead concept was created in 1978 by William and Carolyn McDonough when they transformed a 1788 farm house in Bristol, New Hampshire into the Homestead Restaurant and Lounge. The original restaurant had three dining rooms which made up the ground level rooms of the old colonial each with its own fireplace. The kitchen and lounge where additions to the building and serve the same purpose today. Over the first decade, two additional dining rooms were added to accommodate the high demand in the summer tourist season.

In 1988, William and Carolyn withdrew from the family business leaving it in the hands of their four sons. The McDonough brothers, in 1990 acquired a similar 1810 colonial in the town of Londonderry, New Hampshire. The Homestead concept was a perfect fit. After exhaustive renovations, the Homestead Restaurant of Londonderry was opened with its seven dining rooms and a cocktail lounge. It quickly became a local favorite and continues to service the southern New Hampshire region today.
